Draymond Green showcased his athleticism with a remarkable play, speeding past Rudy Gobert for a powerful dunk and celebrating in style with Steph Curry’s iconic “night night” gesture. In an intense matchup on Sunday night, the Golden State Warriors triumphed over the Minnesota Timberwolves with a score of 114-106, marking their second encounter in just three days.
Stephen Curry was instrumental for the Warriors, scoring 30 points and providing eight assists. He capped off an impressive third quarter by nailing a 39-foot buzzer-beater just before the period ended. Curry also played a pivotal role in the final minutes, assisting Jonathan Kuminga for a crucial dunk with 2:55 remaining and finding Buddy Hield for a clutch three-pointer just seconds before the end.
Hield had an outstanding performance, finishing with 27 points and hitting seven three-pointers, closing in on the historic milestone of 2,000 career three-pointers. Kuminga added 20 points and seven rebounds, further strengthening the Warriors’ lineup.
For the Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards led the scoring with 27 points, but the loss snapped their four-game winning streak. Minnesota’s point guard, Rob Dillingham, missed his fourth consecutive game due to a sprained right ankle, which has been a setback for the team.
Key moments from the game included a controversial foul on Draymond Green early in the third quarter, which was reviewed and confirmed as contact with Gobert’s eye. As the game progressed, Curry’s strong performance propelled the Warriors to maintain their lead and ultimately secure the victory.
Looking ahead, the Timberwolves will host the Lakers on Friday, while the Warriors are set to face the Houston Rockets in the NBA Cup quarterfinals, a matchup they have dominated historically.
This game not only highlights the Warriors’ resilience and teamwork but also sets the stage for an exciting rest of the season as both teams compete for postseason positioning.
